#PolyesterRankings

Good news: The #PolyesterRankings are back this weekend with a countdown of the top 22 @MLB logos from 1970. Where will your favorite rank?

1982 @MLB logos #PolyesterRankings #1: As if there was any doubt, the greatest logo in sports history belonged to the @Montreal_Expos. The bright bleu, blanc, et rouge symbol forms the large letter M for #Montreal along with a small e for #Expos and b for #Baseball. Perfect.

'70s & '80s @Topps baseball #PolyesterRankings #17: The wood grain border and top left logo set the 1987 series apart. Bo Jackson "Future Stars" didn't hurt either. @Royals

1970 @MLB logos #PolyesterRankings #5: The Minnie & Paul @Twins logo really was brilliant. The 1970 iteration featured a #PowderBlue state of Minnesota. Awesome!

1960s/70s/80s @whitesox uniforms #PolyesterRankings #5: Always creative, Lamarr Hoyt and the 1982-86 SOX wore these road greys with all kinds of wide stripes, two-tone hats, and numbers on the pants.

'70s & '80s @Topps baseball #PolyesterRankings #9: The 1978 set had a single color border with contrasting cursive team name in the bottom corner. Most cards had a position baseball in the top corner, but Dave Parker was an NL All Star for the @Pirates

1970 @MLB logos #PolyesterRankings #2: The @Padres entered the baseball landscape in 1969 with the original #SundaySwinginSeventiesLogos brown "swinging friar" busting out of a gold roundel. And it was AWESOME!

1978 @MLB uniforms #PolyesterRankings #2: The 1977-79 @Pirates mix-n-match yellow/black/#TriplePinstripe unis with black/yellow #Stirrups & #Pillbox hats were so awesome that I can't fit them all into one post. So, enjoy these four pics and stick around for four more in a few...

1982 @MLB logos #PolyesterRankings #2: The best logos use letters to make an identifiable symbol. The @Brewers ball & glove (or, as I call it, "Mitt & Ball" since it's an MB) takes #Milwaukee's initials and makes them into a mitt with a baseball set firmly in the palm. Awesome.

#PolyesterRankings of 1970s @MLB All Star Game Logos #2: The @Pirates Jolly Roger surrounded by three different fancy fonts in a mustard yellow roundel? Doesn't get much more awesome than the 1974 Pittsburgh #ASG logo.

1970 @MLB logos #PolyesterRankings #1: The best logos manage to take letters and make them into a universally recognizable symbol. No team has ever done that better than the @Montreal_Expos. BTW It's an M for Montreal with an e - b for Expos Baseball.

#Zippered #PolyesterRankings #4: I think we can all agree that the colorway of the 1971-75 @whitesox was the best in team history. The home whites had red #Pinstripes, sleeve patches, and logos on the red #Stirrups. Jersey had logo to left and number to right of the zipper.

1970's @MLB road grey #PolyesterRankings #1: @whitesox wore grey for 1970 only & it was epic! The unis were #PowderBlue tinted grey flannel button-up with white lettering and navy trim. The front had city, team name, and number. Plus, white #StripedStirrups with navy sanitaries!

#PolyesterRankings Baseball Movies #1. "Bad News Bears" (1976) has way too much awesome to fit in a tweet. If you ask 6 people, they will have 6 different favorite characters. And they will all be right. If you don't like it, you can take your trophy and shove it up your ass!

1970s @MLB #Unicorns #PolyesterRankings #5: Technically, the @Orioles wore these all orange uniforms (supplied by Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods) for a few games each in 1971 and 1972. But, they are so awesome - and so rare - that they qualify for special "unicorn" status.

#PolyesterRankings of @Brewers logos #1: We all know that the 1978-93 "ball & glove" logo (I prefer to call it the "mitt & ball" since it matches the initials in the logo) was the greatest in #Milwaukee history. This is the best kind of logo - great for a hat or jersey.

By popular demand, this weekend's #PolyesterRankings will be a countdown of the best uniforms worn by Gaylord Perry. And since he played for 8 teams over a 22 year @MLB career, there will be plenty to choose from. Join us all weekend and be careful not to slip on the #Vasoline.

Before we move on to the conclusion of this week's #PolyesterRankings, here's a concept @Brewers logo that never happened. This would be hands down #1 if the team ever used it. Also, would make a great hat logo (@HatClub?)...

1976 @MLB pitching rotations #PolyesterRankings #16: The @Indians staff had it all: a Richard Simmons look-alike (Pat Dobson); a @baseballhall of Fame closer (Dennis Eckersley); a dude who was played in a movie by Pam Grier (Jackie Brown); Mike Bibby's brother (Jim); & a 3.59 ERA

1973 #PolyesterRankings #2: First post-war team with #PowderBlue uniforms☑️ First team with zippered polyester jerseys☑️ Red pinstripes☑️ Awesome hat/home jersey logo☑️ Script city/team name on away jersey☑️ Alernate logo on sleeve and #Stirrups☑️ 1973 @whitesox unis are epic!
